"London-based DJ/producer Soreab returns to Baroque Sunburst with a highly anticipated follow-up to 2020's Kraepelin Avenue EP. The new four-tracker also marks his label's 10th release. The concept of Maschera revolves around Luigi Pirandello, an Italian dramatist and novelist. His ideas of the 'mask' and 'trap' take center stage. Pirandello believed that the concepts of 'self' and 'identity' are lost and unachievable in human beings, who are all trapped behind a metaphorical mask concealing their identities. Each track on Maschera has two masks: they can be played at both 33 or 45 rpm, a dream for DJs mixing in wide tempo mode. The title-track draws inspiration from Pirandello's masking ideas. Soreab's half-time stomper moves with the slithering grace of a snake, evolving into intricate IDM melodies riddled with complex drum patterns. 'Trappola' is a melodic hide and seek, with a captivating slow tribal rhythm that gradually intensifies. In 'Specchio' the snake returns, biting his own tail in a continuous loop, a birth and death cycle. The closing track sees the opener remixed by KRSLD, a collaborator with Soreab on the BSUN and XCPT co-release Marmo. His rework builds on all the concepts Soreab explores, infusing dub with a half-time modern dancehall mood. The snake, no longer masked, is now looking for you."

"Beat scientist Soreab signs our second release at the peak of his rhythmic experimentation. Four swirling, hyperactive, sketchy tracks dedicated to overturning the classic hierarchies of beats. Folding the solidity of grooves and sound palettes coming from dance floor music to the hypnotism of techno scenarios and seasoning everything with an exquisite sense of sound design-capable of opening up into melodies without losing his ruthless intensity."
